roaming-profiles

On our network, when the user is logged on a PC and then tries to login on his laptop he is getting this error: " Windows cannot copy "..\%username%\Application Data\firefox\profiles....\parent.lock file to the local C:..."

I have tried deleting the profiles and also uninstalled firefox, but nothing seems to be resolving the problem.

Any ideas ?
